Chapter 657 - 494: A Business Deal

"Yurou, agree with her." Just when Lien Yurou was not sure how to respond, a familiar voice suddenly appeared by her ear.

"Ah?"

"Don’t make a sound, I’m talking to you, she can’t hear." Lin Miao’s voice continued to resonate by Lien Yurou’s ear.

Lien Yurou felt her heart was about to leap out of her throat; this person was not by her side yet could still send his voice to her ear.

This is probably the martial arts skill called "Secret Sound Transmission."

"Okay, alright then..."

"Great, Yurou sister, you agreed." Su Yi exclaimed joyfully upon hearing this; even though sharing forty percent of the profit is somewhat painful, she also knew that if she could get Lien Yurou involved, it would definitely not be a bad thing.

Mr. Lien, even though he had retired, the Lien Family still retained connections both in the court and in commerce.

While Lien Yurou was just a concubine-born lady from the Lien Family, now it seemed marrying King Qi might not necessarily be better.

Unless King Qi ascends to the throne, at most he would be a wealthy idle prince.

Moreover, once the Crown Prince ascends, whether he can end well is uncertain.

"Yurou, have her put the profit-sharing in writing with black and white!" Lin Miao’s voice came again by Lien Yurou’s ear.

Lien Yurou was stunned; how could she bring this up?

"Su, Su Yi sister, we may be sisters, but what you promised me, could you write it down so that I, I can talk to him about this?" Lien Yurou, having never done such a thing, said tensely with a flushed face.

"Yurou sister, I didn’t expect, once you got married, you’d change; indeed, it should be written down to ensure both parties’ interests." Su Yi nodded. With Lien Yurou handling production and technology, she could entirely bypass her to do this business unless she stole the production technology for "mirrors," otherwise being able to take sixty percent of the profit was already considerable; one cannot be too greedy.

Moreover, out of this sixty percent profit, she might not be able to take it all, still needing to smooth various relationships, if she gets thirty percent in her pocket, it would be good enough.

Yet, once this "mirror" starts selling, the silver is sure to pour in, and nothing could stop her from becoming rich.

Lien Yurou, naturally hadn’t signed such profit-sharing cooperation agreements before, whereas Su Yi, with her business experience, quickly drafted an agreement.

Lin Miao had Lien Yurou read over the contents to him once; fortunately, Su Yi didn’t leave any loopholes in the contract, proving to be quite trustworthy.

Thus, without any witnesses, the two women signed and stamped the agreement and specially noted that there were two identical copies.

"Yurou sister, remember to promptly talk about this with your man; I want to discuss the next steps of cooperation with him."

"Understood, Su Yi sister, I’ll definitely talk to him if I see him today." Lien Yurou folded the agreement and concealed it in her bosom.

...

This girl, blessed with simple luck, Lin Miao created a mirror, how couldn’t he think of using it to earn substantial profit?

He wasn’t discerning, nor did he disdain the smell of copper.

However, for these mirrors to sell, they must establish a market in a cultural hub like Li Jing; Dongshan City, even though it claims to be the top city in the northwest, its economic development level is far behind; wealthy people here are nowhere near the capital and cities in the south.

Therefore, initially, he intended to launch it in the capital.

The capital is deep and complex, even though Lin Miao planned to have Lien Yurou manage everything once she returned, there had to be someone of his own in the capital.

While he had some connections in the capital, like high-profile individuals such as Mr. Fu, they couldn’t do much in terms of commerce, at most providing some support and making some people wary of harming the Lin Clan.

Mr. Wan, Poison Old Fourth were also not skilled in commerce; they are considered old friends, able to provide some help, but with limitations.

This Su Yi proactively approached them; she had quite a reputation in the capital and her father held the position of an assistant minister in the Ministry of Personnel, a position neither high nor low, perfectly suitable.

This woman seeing the business potential of "mirrors," was indeed insightful; however, her business acuity still needed to be evaluated.

...

After dinner, Lien Yurou directly sought out Lin Miao; this matter, if not discussed today, she certainly wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

"Master, this is the profit-sharing agreement you asked me to sign with Su Yi sister." Lien Yurou directly placed the agreement on Lin Miao’s work desk.

"Hmm, I’ll take a look." Although knowing the content, Lin Miao still felt it necessary to be cautious, reviewing thoroughly to prevent any loopholes in the wording.

"Keep it, this profit will be yours in the future."

"Mine?"

"Yes, yours; being my woman, you will have your own enterprise; even if I neglect you someday, at least you’d have a business of your own," Lin Miao said. He couldn’t guarantee he’d treat everyone equally; there might be a time he couldn’t fulfill that.

"Master, you’re too good to me." Lien Yurou’s nose tingled with emotion; even if he were somewhat fickle, why not?

"Alright, you wouldn’t think I wouldn’t profit from this mirror business, right? Actually, I plan to give her only the capital city’s business; if she has the capability to take business from other places, she can, but forty percent of profit within Da Li will be yours," Lin Miao smiled.

"Then when will you talk to her about it?"
